The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given assertion and reason, we will break down the statements and evaluate their validity step by step. ### Step 1: Evaluate the Assertion The assertion states: "The sequence of dark reaction of photosynthesis was discovered by Robin Hill." - **Analysis**: The dark reactions of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin cycle, were actually elucidated by Melvin Calvin and his colleagues, not Robin Hill. Robin Hill is known for his work on the light reactions of photosynthesis, particularly the Hill reaction, which involves the splitting of water and the release of oxygen. Therefore, this assertion is **false**. ### Step 2: Evaluate the Reason The reason states: "The principle of limiting factor was proposed by Calvin." - **Analysis**: The principle of limiting factors, which states that the growth of an organism is limited by the factor that is in the shortest supply, was proposed by Frederick Blackman, not Calvin. Calvin is known for his work on the Calvin cycle, but he did not propose the limiting factor principle. Therefore, this reason is also **false**. ### Step 3: Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we can conclude that the correct answer is: **Both Assertion and Reason are False.** ### Final Answer The correct option is: **4. Both Assertion and Reason are False.** ---
